Bucks Fizz - Music

Shayera Hol · 20-07-2006, 12:49

...are apparently headliining a festival in my town this weekend. And according to the press release it's the real Bucks Fizz and not a tribute band.

Thing is, in the picture, they all look in their early 20s and none of them are Cheryl Baker. Anyone know what's going on??

(Sadly I'm visiting my dad on Saturday so won't be able to go to the concert - gutted!)

Isnt it one of the guys and a new couple of Blonde Dolly Birds but he retains the Band name so can still call them Bucks Fizz?
I bought a greatest hits a few years ago and it wasnt the original line up on the cover

My son was crazy over Bucks Fizz,I took him to see them as
a treat for his 10---TENTH birthday,at a local theatre.
That son is now 33 and has a son of his own.So if there's a group calling themselves Bucks Fizz-----they are on walking
sticks or a 'Copycat' group....

This is as much as I know - they seem emphatic that it's "proper" Bucks Fizz!

They were playing at a gay club in birmingham recently and i saw a picture of them (which looked about 20 years old) and Cheryl Baker was in it as well as 1 guy and another girl (not sure if they are the original line up)

Looks like the only original one there is "Bobby G" so it wont be the orignal members but they are still hawking the songs around

Bobby G actually went to court a few years ago and won the rights to the name, so it's just him and 3 others now.

I remember seeing a documentary a few years ago, the original Bucks Fizz guy teamed up with the guy from 'Dollar' and then the Dollar guy left and formed his *own* Bucks Fizz despite not originally being in them! It all got a bit nasty IIRC.

*Actual Fact* When Dollar split, that same guy went solo and is now known as 50 Cent. it's true
